I finally moved my albums over from a gallery2 installation to Picasa Web Albums. Gallery was just too slow and clunky. I am sure there are those that are able to fiddle and make it hum like finely tuned engine. I just don’t have the time. Using Picasa to organize, upload, and host my photos is a breeze.

That is all.

Oh, for those of you in my family that want to know about photo updates, you can find the album here, and the RSS feed here.

My, oh my, are the price of books shooting through the roof. Check out this nice mailing from the Mizzou Library I received Saturday (sent via first class mail, o’course):

You can see the amount the School paid for the book in the upper right-hand corner of the book itself. Compare that with the price they wanna charge me for it - all because it is a month late. Somehow the book’s mere association with the MU Library causes its value to increase 39 -fold.

What you don’t see is the other 22 books for which I am being charged. I’ll have to go find those books and turn them in soon.

This weekend was all board games and thesis. Friday night, after playing basketball and hitting up Flatbranch with the other TAs, I invited them over for Guitar Hero and board games. Much fun ensued. Taboo, Sequence, Ticket to Ride and Guitar Hero - how can one go wrong?

Saturday night, my good friend Jake turned twenty eight and had a few people over for board games. Check out the awesome candle on that cake!

I had one of my best showing in Ticket to Ride and was able to beat Jake, who used up all of his trains and did not waste one of them in achieving the longest track. I also received great pleasure in beating the crap out of Andy in Ticket. He was black (the Mormon express) and I was red (look for me in the upper left-hand corner). The two previous times I had played him I had scored less than he had, a point in which he reveled greatly.

Oh yeah, thesis. I spent from 10AM till 7:30PM on it Saturday and from 2-10pm on it Sunday. I now have about 33 pages, but after I came to that length, I decided to rework the project some. I am dropping The Gospel of Thomas and the The Book of Thomas the Contender from my analysis and only focusing on the social world of The Acts of Thomas. ARG.

Every single time I grab a Starbucks drink (grande mocha nonfat, not whip, please) I feel as though I am cheating. I know it is bad for my belt, bad for my wallet, bad for my breath, and according to some, bad for the growers, and bad for America (something about all successful businesses being intrinsically evil was how it was explained to me…somehow).

But ooohhhhh how good it is in the morning. Sometimes it feels sooooo good to be bad. And who knows, maybe I am not being so bad after all.
